Hello, We had a development box running Red Hat 6.1 on it. Over the Christmas weekend someone hacked into this system, installed bitchx on it, and filled up the disk among other things. One of the consequences of the attack was that MySQL stopped functioning. MySQL appears to start correctly on this system, that is the startup script finishes and there are mysqld processes that show up.
The problem is that when any client attempts to access any database the client hangs. Initially, when we thought we could clean up the box I completely rebuilt MySQL from sources and the problem persisted. We now are just about to completely rebuild the box, but we would like to know what is going on. What should I look at? What is preventing MySQL from answering queries? Thanks in advance, Bill +----------------------------------------------- | Bill MacAllister | Senior Programmer, Pride Industries | 10030 Foothills Blvd., Roseville CA 95747 | Phone: +1 916.788.2402 Fax: +1 916.788-2540 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
